With several billion dollars available from the Inflation Reduction Act for upgrades to increase energy efficiency of the home, now is the time for consumers to take advantage of federal government subsidies that will help lower their energy costs and carbon footprint while increasing comfort in their homes.

This study was led by Prof. Ping Zhang, Dr. Yiming Liu, Yile Song, and Jiaxiang Zhang (State Key Laboratory of Networking and Switching Technology, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications).

Large language models (LLMs) are advanced deep learning algorithms that can analyze prompts in various human languages, subsequently generating realistic and exhaustive answers. This promising class of natural language processing (NLP) models has become increasingly popular after the release of Open AI's ChatGPT platform, which can rapidly answer a wide range of user queries and generate convincing written texts for different uses.

Computer scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have managed to compromise multiple artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, including ChatGPT, Google Bard and Microsoft Bing Chat, to produce content that breaches their developers' guidelines—an outcome known as "jailbreaking."

A research team led by Professor Kyung-In Jang at the Department of Robotics and Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, DGIST, and another led by Professor Jihwan Choi at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, KAIST, developed an artificial electronic tongue system that mimics the human gustatory system.

From the outside, the Kölnbrein water dam, operated by Verbund in Carinthia, which is Austria's highest dam, and the DC Tower in Vienna, Austria's tallest building, do not have much in common, but for a research group around Caroline Schönberger and Werner Lienhart from the Institute of Engineering Geodesy and Measurement Systems at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), they are equally interesting from a scientific point of view.

Robotic systems inspired by nature can help to efficiently tackle a wide range of problems, ranging from navigating complex environments to seamlessly completing missions as a team. In recent years, roboticists have created a growing number of bio-inspired systems designed to replicate the body structure and movements of various animals, including snakes.

A spokesperson for the China National Space Administration (CNSA) said on Friday that he is

Oregon had about 173 wolves in 2021, according to an annual survey conducted by state and tribal biologists.

The three members of Expedition 70 are set to relieve astronauts who had been stranded on the space station for an additional six months.

Firefly Aerospace demonstrated to the Space Force its capability to prepare a satellite for the Victus Nox mission within a tight 24-hour window.

Scientists are questioning a mission that sent fossils to the brink of space, igniting a debate on ethics, intentions, and anthropological integrity.

The space agency is attempting to shift talk of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena from sensationalism to science, but it may end up feeding into alien hysteria.

Researchers at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia recently flew multiple drones beyond visual line of sight with no visual observer. The drones successfully flew around obstacles and each other during takeoff, along a planned route, and upon landing, all autonomously without a pilot controlling the flight. This test marks an important step towards advancing self-flying capabilities for air taxis.

Even as human-caused climate change threatens the environment, nature continues to inspire our technological advancement.

As the world pivots from planet-warming fossil fuels to renewable energy, a new pollution problem is rearing its head: What to do with old or worn-out solar panels?

An international collaboration of researchers, led by Smithsonian scientists, identified five new species of soft-furred hedgehogs.

There are many milestones to pass in the transition from a high to low-carbon sustainable energy system. There is the first hour without coal, or oil, or gas generation (or all of them together) and the point when the last coal, oil or gas power plant (or all of them together) are finally retired.

Researchers led by Genki Kobayashi at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research in Japan have developed a solid electrolyte for transporting hydride ions (H−) at room temperature.
